In this Grade 10 Climatology presentation aligned with CAPS Term 1, we will delve into the fascinating world of climate and weather. We’ll start by distinguishing between climate, the long-term patterns of atmospheric conditions, and weather, the short-term atmospheric conditions we experience daily. We’ll explore the various factors that shape climate, such as latitude, altitude, and ocean currents, and understand how these factors give rise to different climate zones worldwide, including those in South Africa. Additionally, we’ll address the critical issue of climate change, its causes, and the potential consequences it poses. We’ll also touch upon mitigation and adaptation strategies to combat the effects of climate change. Throughout the presentation, we’ll discuss the instruments used to measure weather conditions and the importance of climate data in our daily lives, from clothing choices to agriculture and energy consumption. By the end, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of climatology and its significance in our world today.
